reid. [applause] >> 100 years after rosa parks was born and more than a half century after she sparked the civil rights movement, the united states is still striving to ensure every american is not only created equal by god but treated equally in the world. as america shapes its future, it struggles with its past, a past in which equality was our principle but not always our practice. two of the best motion pictures this year were nominated for academy awards. "lincoln" and "dejango unchained" offered sin matic treatments of one of our darkest institutions, slavery. one film presents an unvarnished view of the evils of slavery. the other depicts our difficult journey to end slavery. it's significant that 150 years after president abraham lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation we're still considering in film, in photo and art and activism how to end racism and inequality. in the doorway to my capitol office, i have a photograph of the president in the oval office. let me tell you why i
